floating the soundboard / David P.

[Richard Brekne]

Grin... Interesting you should pick exactly THAT analogy David.  Being a 
preachers kid (presbyterian) and growing up with an enormous amount of 
hypocrisy (I could tell you stories about various congregations that 
would make Harper Valleys PTA look like childs play) I was influenced 
very early on to clearly separate between the basic ethics of the Golden 
Rule and the organized church.  Being a typical human I have held quite 
stubbornly to that stance for some 45-50 years now.

Seriously guys... if folks didnt do this stuff... then why would it be 
so difficult to convince the piano world of the virtues of all these 
design features so often touted on this list.  Heck... they ARE good 
very workable ideas.  Its just that there are a LOT of OTHER good 
workable ideas out there as well... and well... as I said in the post 
that kicked this little match off in the first place...

    "I think thats probably why a lot of folks around the world stick to
    what they do... because they already know how to do it and they get
    a very nice result."

        But the overwhelming majority of people out there stick pretty
        stubbornly to what they have learned
        from there mentors... whomever they be.  Or hadnt you noticed 
        ?? :):)

    And that is why you are still a Lutheran Fundamentalist I assume.
